Curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Do It began in Paris in 1993 as a conversation between the artists Christian Boltanski and Bertrand Lavier and Obrist himself, who was experimenting with how exhibition formats could be rendered more flexible and open-ended. The discussion led to the question of whether a show could take “scores” or written instructions by artists as a point of departure, which could be interpreted anew each time they were enacted. To test the idea, Obrist invited 13 artists to send instructions, which were then translated into nine different languages and circulated internationally as a book. Within two years, Do It exhibitions were being created all over the world by realizing the artists’ instructions. With every version of the exhibition new instructions were added, so that today more than 300 artists have contributed to the project. Constantly evolving and morphing into different versions of itself, Do It has grown to encompass “Do It (Museum),” “Do It (Home),” “Do It (TV),” “Do It (Seminar)” as well as some “Anti-Do Its”, a “Philosophy Do It” and, most recently, a “UNESCO Children’s Do It.” Nearly 20 years after the initial conversation took place, Do It has been featured in at least 50 different locations worldwide. To mark the twentieth anniversary of this landmark project, this new publication presents the history of this ambitious enterprise and gives new impetus to its future. It includes an archive of artists’ instructions, essays contextualizing Do It, documentation from the history of the exhibition and instructions by 200 artists from all over the world selected by Obrist, among them Carl Andre, Jimmie Durham, Dan Graham, Yoko Ono, Christian Marclay and Rosemarie Trockel, including 60 new instructions from Matias Faldbakken, Theaster Gates, Sarah Lucas, David Lynch, Rivane Neuenschwander and Ai Weiwei, among many others.

an unusual, clever, and fun angle on contemporary art
By A Customer
The editor/curators of this book got 50 contemporary artists to each write down instructions for a do-it-yourself art project, for the reader to try. Each is a small revelation of the artist, and a thought-provoker in itself. It's intelligent and fun -- a very clever expression and extension of contemporary art. It's just the thing for anyone who wishes they were artistic: you read an entry, and have the curious sensation that, not only is the project something you could do, but it would be an actual participation in the contemporary art world, pre-endorsed by prominent artists and curators.

Excellent ideas for creating art using a variety of media!
By Estevan Gorro
This is a great book that contains a wide variety of ideas for creating art--using a wide variety of media and digital tools. The 'Do It!' project began in the early 1990's and continuues until today. The concept behind the book is to allow a wide range of artists to provide 1-2 page instructions on how to create an art work that could be created by anyone and displayed at a 'Do It!' exhibition. The book is full of a lot of interesting and fun ideas for creating art works.

Fantastic!
By Janine D
I absolutely loved this book! It's gorgeous and super engaging. This is a book of instructions for art, rather than pictures of art -- so could you take a hands-on approach and try to `do it yourself'. The instructions have been contributed by a really exciting range of artists, and each is kind of a fun insight into their work and mindset. It's an experience rather than just a read -- If you are interested in contemporary art and want to rediscover it in a new light, I would definitely recommend picking up "Do It!"
